Chapter 94

Sitting and raising prices, from our own point of view, this is not. Of course, we put our identity and position very correctly and clearly. It's reasonable to have this one. Zheng Jie and Roland look at us now, as if we had secretly discussed before, so they have branded us as profiteers and Philistines. Fu Zhiwen looked natural, as if everything had never happened before.

Let's go. This is the itinerary that Fu Zhiwen can't wait for. I stared at the direction of Ghost Island, which was completely invisible to the naked eye, and then looked at two kayaks. I couldn't help beating my heart. "Old Fu, how far are we from our destination?"

Fu Zhiwen, Zheng Jie and Roland share a kayak. Of course, the remaining one belongs to us at present. He stopped his rowing, took out a map, looked carefully, and immediately said, "it's not far, about five nautical miles."

Jiang Yilong listened and said, "Hey, don't blame me for my limited knowledge. I just want to ask how far these five nautical miles are?"

Roland finally opened his mouth and said: "A nautical mile is traditionally defined as a quarter of a circle around the earth, that is, a circle is equal to 360 degrees and a degree is equal to 60 minutes. The length of a nautical mile is twice the length of the meridian divided by 360 and then divided by 60. As early as 1970, a nautical mile was 6080 feet, equivalent to 1853.184 meters. Later, the United States redefined a nautical mile as 6080.2 feet, equivalent to 1853.249 meters. Accordingly, China It is generally accepted that one nautical mile is 1853.249 meters. "

Jiang Yilong clapped his hands and said, "it's awesome. I didn't expect Roland that you were a top student. You can even remember these well. However, I still don't quite understand the difference between this kilometer and this sea."

Roland did not show a contemptuous look, but continued to say: "You should know the unit of meter. A thousand meters is equal to one kilometer. Actually, how long is it? I'll give you an example. It's about 20 times as long as where we lived last night. That is to say, one nautical mile is equal to more than 1.8 kilometers. Then, how long is the distance less than five nautical miles? Just change the logical unit. Just think a little I'll know. "

Jiang Yilong broke his fingers for a long time and finally said, "1000 meters, five nautical miles, wow, it's so far. Just this kayak, and you still have to paddle manually. It's not tiring."

Fu Zhiwen said with a smile: "In fact, I'm not prepared enough and I'm too anxious. According to the truth, inflatable kayaking is not suitable for rowing on the sea. Firstly, it's windy and rough on the sea, and its steering is not good, so it's very easy to be overturned. Secondly, it's very hard to row when it deviates from the direction, which has to test my physical quality and ability to control the kayaking. Therefore, it's a hard trip Errand. "

Bai Ling said, "in that case, do you want to arrange it like this?"

Roland said, "this is my problem. However, Professor Fu just talked about the key point. First, these tasks are too urgent, and I don't have enough time to arrange. Second, as long as the local people know where we are, they are not willing to rent the boat to us. Therefore, I can only make my own decision and replace it with this kayak."

"Yes, it's still my problem to come back." Fu Zhiwen said: "however, I have carefully observed the weather today. God bless the calm sea today. As long as we all work a little hard and survive, I believe we can land on the ghost... The island smoothly."

What else did Jiang Yilong want to say? I stopped him and looked at the time. It was nearly 10 a.m. right away. According to the distance between Roland and and ghost island just now, plus manual rowing, we had to spend most of the day at sea. Therefore, the top priority is to go to the sea as soon as possible, at least make sure that the sea is calm today and get on Ghost Island smoothly before dark Otherwise, the pain will be really hard.

For safety reasons, we wanted to connect the two kayaks with hemp ropes, so that we could take care of each other in case of any emergency. Secondly, after rowing at sea for more than two hours, Fu Zhiwen, Zheng Jie and the three of them obviously suffered a loss in physical strength, and the speed of the kayak couldn't keep up. In addition, due to the connection of hemp ropes, even if we rowed in front, we were much faster than them Hard work.

At this time, I talked to Jiang Yilong secretly. He immediately transferred to Fu Zhiwen's kayak. During this time, Jiang Yilong didn't stop for a minute anyway. It's meaningless to want to fully express himself as a man in front of Roland.

On land, the distance of five nautical miles is not a big problem for normal people. Even if it takes only more than an hour to walk on foot. But on the sea, the waves fluctuate and there is no mechanical power. If you want to move forward, you must pay a lot of physical energy consumption, which is a very big test for Jiang Yilong.

Roland said, "brother Jiang, your body is much stronger than your younger martial brother. Don't blame me for your speed. To tell the truth, I'm afraid you can compare with ants."

"Joke, it's a big joke. I have hidden strength. Don't worry. I can surpass them right away." Jiang Yilong rowed hard.

Bai Ling and I have a much lighter load than their one. It's reasonable to work a little harder and row faster. But it made me a little angry. It is very likely that Roland has seen Jiang Yilong's Thoughts on her. Taking advantage of this section, she is always waiting for opportunities to dig and stimulate. Of course, it is undeniable that after her stimulation, Jiang Yilong tried his best to hold the three of them together with some materials and equipment on the kayak, which was about the same speed as us, but at the same time, I secretly worried about Jiang Yilong.

Jiang Yilong and I grew up together. I don't know what his temperament is. Once he recognizes the right thing, there are only two results, either success in one fell swoop, or he will never regret. When he was very clear and told me for the first time, he even fell in love with Roland who met for the first time. I was happy for Jiang Yilong no matter in the position of brother or division brother. But all things in the world, although there is a general trend, the details can show that human nature is good. If this is what I see Roland's real face, regardless of whether she is a top student or an assistant curator, in short, she really doesn't deserve Shangjiang Yilong.

The cold wind in winter, plus the sea trip, the face is like a knife, and the hands and feet are cold. In addition to the slightest desire in the heart, it is not worth it.

Bai Ling suddenly said, "what's going on ahead?"

"What?" I looked up and followed the direction of her fingers, about more than ten meters away from us. The front was filled with fog, like a leaf blocking the eyes. "Well, what's the matter? Although the sun is not warm today, the weather is good and the sea is calm. Why is it foggy?"

When I stopped, Jiang Yilong also stopped. Fu Zhiwen stood up and observed the fog in front of him for a long time. He immediately took out his compass and map. Finally, he said, "the direction is right, but according to the weather conditions, the fog is really strange."

I said, "old Fu, how far away are we from the island?"

Fu Zhiwen said, "it's not far, about a nautical mile."

Bai Ling said, "that is, we just need to go straight through to our destination?"

"Yes." Fu Zhiwen paused and said, "only with my knowledge, according to such weather conditions, and in such a position, there should be no fog."

Of course, I know much less about the weather at sea than Fu Zhiwen and his knowledgeable experts, but now even he himself says so. In this case, the fog area in front of me is really strange. At the same time, I had an ominous premonition that something was going to happen. "It's getting late now. We must land on the island before dark. Otherwise, with the confusion of the direction of darkness and physical exertion, I'm afraid we can only stay at sea for one night."

Zheng Jie said, "since everyone has the same meaning, what are you waiting for? It's just a fog area. Just go straight through it."

"Wait." Fu Zhiwen said, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Qi, what can you see now?"

I said, "old Fu, you think we are really immortal Luo."

"It shouldn't be. It shouldn't be reasonable."

"Grandpa, what shouldn't be."

"It's not the fog yet." Fu Zhiwen sat down, received the map compass in his bag, and remained silent for a long time. "For the sake of safety, let's change the direction of navigation. According to my visual observation, although the fog area is large, the left seems weak, so we changed our way to climb the island from the left."

Jiang Yilong said, "according to what you said, how long will it take?"

"It may take an extra hour or two," Fu said

"It's getting dark and it will take another hour or two. What you said is really not easy. Why don't you always come to the boat now?" Jiang Yilong was obviously very dissatisfied. He immediately rushed to me across the boat and said, "younger martial brother, I'll open the way and you'll follow."

He spoke cleanly and immediately rowed the oars. From my point of view at this time, I certainly aim to save my physical strength and reach my destination safely. If it really takes a few more hours to detour because of the fog area in front of you, to tell you the truth, I sincerely disagree. After all, they just ferry passengers by boat, and they can't feel the hard work of the boatman at all.

Jiang Yilong and I have no more subjective consciousness than hoping to reach the island safely as soon as possible. When we lock the direction and break into the fog area, there is a diffuse haze within five meters of our sight, but we are sure of the direction, which has little impact on us. We just need to paddle along the direction. However, in fact, we were still trapped in the fog area for nearly dozens of minutes after we broke into the fog area. In principle, at least we can see the shadow of ghost island with our own eyes.

Fu Zhiwen suddenly said, "no, it's not right."

Jiang Yilong also had a complaint in his heart. He stopped his oar and angrily said, "what's wrong?"

Fu Zhiwen handed the compass in his hand to Jiang Yilong and said, "look for yourself."

Jiang Yilong said, "why does this pointer shake vigorously?"

"Yes, most. That's strange."

"Why is this?"

"I have two inferences. One is that there is magnetic interference here, so the pointer cannot determine the direction. Second, this inference is a little absurd. Judging from my experience for so many years, maybe this place is strange..."
